Park History

Lake Sequoyah is comprised of approximately 1,400 acres of land and 389 acres of water. The City of Fayetteville purchased the property in 1958, and the lake was originally constructed as a water supply reservoir. The city stopped using it as a water supply in the 1960s when Beaver Water District became the primary source of water for Northwest Arkansas.

Today, many residents know the property as Lake Sequoyah Park. Patrons enjoy boating, fishing, nature watching, picnicking and hiking. The park has a marina, boat ramp and courtesy dock. Fishing permits are required and can be purchased at the marina. Nature trails provide gorgeous views of the lake with plenty of spur trails for fishing access. The area is noted for its plentiful bird population, including Great Blue Heron, American Bald Eagle and Belted Kingfisher.
